Beating out a new gory path - the latest Condemned title is unremittingly brutal

There are few games that can illicit the kind of shock that comes from punching a man in the face repeatedly and watching him slowly crumple to the floor, wincing in pain and begging for mercy between expletives. In this sense, Condemned 2 is the most horrific and visceral game we’ve experienced in quite some time.

Though this is a sequel, with the original appearing on Xbox 360 two years ago, Condemned 2 is more of a complete game than the first outing. If the first game is viewed as a prototype for a universe and combat system yet to be fattened up, then Condemned 2 is that feeding process - this is the game Condemned was always meant to be.

Formerly the editor of Official PlayStation Magazine, PLAY Magazine, 3D World, XMB, X360, and PlayStation World, he’s no stranger to gaming, either. He’ll happily debate you for hours over the virtues of Days Gone, then settle the argument on the pitch over a game of PES (pausing frequently while he cooks a roast dinner in the background). Just don’t call it eFootball, or it might bring tears to his eyes for the ISS glory days on PS1.
